Some of our Training & Program Partners
“We partnered with Untapped to provide a series of
workshops for our coaches. From start to finish, Untapped
have been incredibly professional and really took the time
to understand our specific needs and tailor a solution that
was fit for purpose. They designed and facilitated the sessions in a knowledgeable, engaging and content rich experience for our coaches. It is clear that their work is informed by contemporary theoretical understandings of neurodivergency, balanced with lived experience. I have no hesitation recommending them to other clients.”
“As part of our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan, we searched for a suitable trainer for neurodiversity in the academic workplace. We are thrilled with what Untapped was able to deliver! They spent time getting the training right, and the feedback from our members has been so overwhelmingly positive. I highly recommend ... the Untapped team for any training requirements you have around neurodiversity in your workplace.””

3. BE YOUR BEST ACADEMY: LIFE SKILLS TRAINING
Be Your Best Academy are a 100% neurodivergent team, and we create personal and professional development courses for adults who identify as neurodivergent.
The courses aim to help neurodivergent individuals navigate daily life. The BYB team know that neurodivergent people have amazing talents and brilliant minds, yet can lack some 'simple' skills for life. Thus the learning academy was born, creating educational materials designed for a neurodivergent mind. The courses meet an identified community need for educational resources for:
Being better organised
Understanding complex emotions
'Adulting' when living independently
There are also neurodiversity courses for employers, parents and health care workers.
